Rather simple way of making insoles with 3 pressure sensors located at different pressure points of the foot on the ground. The entire circuitry is sewn with conductive thread on sewing machine. The piezoresistive (pressure sensing) material is taped in place until finalized and can then also be sewn in place by machine (with regular thread!).

The conductive thread I used is solderable so that I could quickly&easily solder a row of header pins to the ends of my “ribbon cables”.
These sensing insoles were made to control the drawing of a line as part of a Personal Games Course I attended.
